Kraven and Radar, I am referring to 83W for RTV and PBJ. All others I would pickup with my motorized dish. I was thinking since I am on 83 a lot it may be worth adding that as a fixed dish through my switch. Just trying to figure out what type of dish I can get away with for 83. Currently...

Hello all, As I wait to get my new receiver I am testing my installed FTA system. I currently have a 7 year old setup - a 31" dish with an Invocom QPH-031 quad LNB running on a SG2100 motor. The Linear and circular outputs are going through a Chieta 4x1 switch. I have a long run from the...

Hey guys, I have just gotten back into the wonderful world of FTA after a few years away. Have a 31" motorized dish with an Invocom Quad QPH-031 going through a Chieta 4x1 switch. Getting a new receiver, still not sure which one, and was curious if I should make any dish changes or additions...

Hello all, I wanted to know what are the current recording options for the 505 receiver. I know the receiver doesn't have any capability but wanted to know what solutions people are using with other equipment added on. I see Tivo is one option but that only gets me standard definition...

PVR functionality is the most important to us as we time shift everything like ease of use. Both services have all the channels I want. The reason I am thinking about it, is I got a letter asking me to come back and they are offering the Plus HD DVR package for $49.99 a month for a year with...

Hello all, Thinking of switching back to Directv after a little more then a year with Dish Network. I have had to exchange the dish network PVR at least 3 times in the past year. How is the latest crop of HD PVR's for Directv as compared to DN use and functionality? Do they have backup...

Hey Rweb, I was going top use a 75-e as well for a more permanent installation. What is your strength on TP1? I realized it is only 35 on my 31" dish. Thanks Harry

Just did a test with a 31" dish and got all transponders averaging between 60-65 signal strength if that helps anyone.

I have read numerous posts but don't see any footprint maps or anyone near me trying to get Nimiq 4. Does anyone know if Nimiq 4 is usable from: Lat - 40.5 N Long - 75.7 W I can dedicate a dish to it if needed. Thanks Harry

Hey Guys, Just got my new VS 7000 PVR and was able to get the latest VS update loaded. Went into the antenna screen and started setting up sats. I go to the motor menu (since I have a motorized dish) and change to USALS 1.3 then enter my coordinates and go to the sat position. Everything up...

Thanks - Nagravision Thanks for all of the info. So far finding a lot of great channels. Now the fun of sorting through them all. Do you know if there is a legal way to get any nagravision encoded channels? There seem to be so many that look like good possibilities. Especially local...

Tweaked some more Thanks for your replies gang. I moved the LNB away from the dish some on its mount and that rasied the numbers about 3 to 4 points on each scale. I noticed my Horizontals were lower so I tweaked my side to side adjustment by a very small amount and increased some of the...

Thanks - followup Is the signal stength and quality I am getting normal?

Hello all, Wel I finally got my motorized setup working, yeah! I have a Mercury II receiver with a fortec KU 80CM dish and have a signal quality question. My signal strength for most of the sats is around 72 to 80. The signal quality varies between 39 to 75 depending on the transponder. I...
